With the roster at 80, the Bears don’t need to release Taylor, yet. They can instead shop him to a team that may need a tailback, like the Cardinals.

Either way, it’s looking like two of the three big name players that the Bears signed on the first day of free agency in 2010 will soon be former members of the team, with Taylor poised to join Brandon Manumaleuna.

I think it’s obvious that Minnesota, Green Bay, or Detroit would pick him up for the veteran minimum for Chicago’s offensive playbook alone. By advertising you would cut him when he feels “scorned,” he’s going to get called by the Bears rivals.

If he were to take a few reps off of Adrian Peterson when AP needed a rest, that would be a bonus.

Seems like they are doing this to screw with him. Making it that much harder to get on somewhere else. Because even with Jerry Angelo at the wheel, he can’t be dumb enough to think someone else would actually trade for him. Could.. he?

dealer: what’s obvious to you is silly. its not like mike martz’s playbook is a secret. just send all your eligible receivers into the pattern and leave no one to protect your quarterback. then act surprised when they become shellshocked (ask mark bulger).

lets see if either of those teams has any interest once clueless jerry realizes he’s getting nothing for chester. my guess is not.
